Great Meadows GIS project

I am currently involved in aiding the Great Meadows Conservation Trust (www.gmct.org) in a mapping project that will combine existing digital map layers with detailed habitat themes and bird sighting data.  Many birders will find the field maps that I have organized below useful when visiting the Great Meadows.  Locations can be plotted on the maps and then transferred to www.ebird.com.  Ebird users can plot sightings directly on GoogleMaps within Ebird and those locations will be stored in a database that we will regularly access and include in our GIS.  This way the Trust will be able to store and manage bird data in combination with detailed habitat data.

Link to Birds of the Great Meadow interactive map! -Jonathan Quinn ('10) has compiled several years of bird data reported to the e-bird website. This interactive map allows bird enthusiasts and advocates to see where and when individual birds have been sighted in the Great Meadows Region. All comments and questions can be sent to me at jonathan.gourley@trincoll.edu.
